My Experience at the 2016 BDJ Fair's Rise ABove the Waves


A photo posted by Rhea B. Tulagan (@iam_precious_23) on


Last October 16, 2016, I woke up around 4 in the morning, it's raining hard non-stop. I immediately checked my phone to see if there's a message from BDJ Team. There was none. I also checked the BDJ's FB page to see if they cancelled the fair (just like last year), and thank God there's none too. It only means one thing, the BDJ Fair 2016 will happen as planned! Oh yeah!! Praise the Lord!

I arrived at the SM MOA Music Hall at about 9:15 am. There are quite a few Bellas that was at the venue already. It was then announced that instead of 10 AM, registration will probably start at 11 because they're still not done with the set-up. 

The VIP pass costs P 200 which include 2 talks, special access to Special Activities and planner customization. Grace to be Born (The maternity home and Nursery that provides shelters to unwed pregnant mothers) and Magbasa Kita Foundation, Inc.(The LIPAD project of MKFI and USAID to empower non-literates in Muslim community), are the beneficiaries of this year's fair.

After getting my VIP pass and my free washis (given to the first 100 pre-registered bellas to claim the VIP pass), I went to pick-up my planners. And then, I checked the booths and tried my luck in winning some of the games. I'm lucky indeed as I won lots of prizes.

Goldilocks - I got a pack of Coffee Crumble polvoron because I was able to hit their giant Cake Pinata.

Ace Water Spa - We have to take a selfie, post it on IG, used a certain hashtag and show it to them. I chose the eco bag as my prize because I forgot to bring one. 

Flawless - We have to spin the roulette and do the challenge to win a prize. Good thing mine stopped at "WIN A PRIZE" so I didn't do any challenge. Got a soap and a voucher. 

Lynelle - You have to put 7 hair extensions and make sure the pins are not visible in 3 minutes. Was able to finished it on time and I won a hair clamp. 

Subic Grand Seas - I am given 5 rings to toss and I need at least 3 to toss successfully in order for me to win a prize. None of my toss was successful. hahahaha.. 

SM Parisian - Like their page and spin a roulette (in their laptop) and win a prize. Got a Jadine's postcard.

Wacoal - We have to match 5 under wears in 30 seconds. Got a mug as a prize because I was able to do it in 15 seconds. :)

ETC - strike a post in their booth, post it on IG and use a certain hashtag, wait to be printed, and pick a prize. I won a canvass bag. 

Serenitea - Register, Spin a wheel and win a prize. I won Erin Stuff Toy Key Chain. 

Jergens - get 10 Jergens Soap inside the ball pit in 30 seconds (not so sure about the time limit). I chose their mini notebook as my prize (blame it to my stationery addiction).

Mrs. Fields - won a 10% discount.

Red Mango - we have to shoot at least 3 toppings into a hole. Got P100 voucher.

I wasn't able to visit Keds, Celeteque and Chef Tony's booth. I tried the games at Vedette and Skin Station's booth but didn't win anything. 



VIP Pass holders can try bungee jumping, surf boarding, tarot reading and interactive photo booth. I skipped the first three and just got my photo taken and printed at the photo booth. Love the magnetic photo print that I got. :)

There's also a Freedom Wall where you can write anything.

I pre-registered for the first 2 talks.

Pushing Yourself Further by Katrina Gumabao. 

She talked about working out, being fit and changing / improving ourselves.

The very important lesson learned from her
  • Being fit is not about being better than someone else, but being better than you used to be. 
  • Make a change because you love your body, not because you hate it. 
  • When you feel like quitting, think about why you started. 
  • Love yourself even when you reached your goal.
  • Ignore the haters.
  • YOU are worth more than you realize.
Empowering Yourself to Succeed by Elmie Cadungog.

She talked about the effects of Low self esteem and how to overcome it.

Ways to overcome Low Self Esteem
  • Surround yourself with Positive People.
  • Invest on your personal growth. 
  • Don't compare yourself to others. 
  • Don't criticize yourself and others as well.
  • Look Good, Feel Good.
After purchasing a Quest Journal (as requested by my friend), I decided to go go home since I'm a bit tired already. By the way, every VIP bellas went home with a loot bag.

I enjoyed this fair more than I enjoyed the last one. And I will definitely be there again next year.

Post Event:BDJ Rendezvous - Art of Now





I love attending BDJ events. As much as possible I want to attend them all. So when I wasn't chosen to join their July events (BDJ Box Soiree : Unmask Beauty with Vedette and BDJ Passion Series: Portrait Me Flawless), I was a little heart broken. hehehe. 

That's why when Sis Grace Aragon sent me a message asking me if I want to go with her to this event I immediately said YES.

The event was held at Mega Atrium Lobby, SM Megamall last August 6.

The event was hosted by Ms. Tracy Abad. And a BDJ event will never be complete without games and raffle prizes. so we kicked it off by having the first game which was sponsored by Jergens. The first 3 early birds were also awarded.. Yaahoo! I'm one of them. hahaha. We received  a Water Cushion Foundation from the The Face Shop PH.

ART of CREATIVITY  by sisters Roma and Maan Agsalud (of Pop.Junk.Love and Commom Room PH). They talked about how they started PopJunkLove and later on establishing Common Room PH (with 2 branches now). When they started the business, they don't have any background in management as they're graduate of Political Science and Mass Comm  (hope I'm correct with their courses) respectively. All they have was their passion and love for arts and crafts and their P5000 capital. What I learned from them is that, you have to stop making excuses and find ways to be resourceful and creative if you really want to do something. And when you think you're having a hard time and you find yourself getting tired of what you are doing, don't hesitate to STOP. Rest, recharge, reboot, and go out to seek inspirations outside your bubble and when you're ready, go back and start again. 

Ms. Roma and Maan Agsalud

There's another game and raffle draw after the first talk and then we proceed to the second topic. 

QUEST to WELLNESS by Nikki Torres (of Pretty Darn Fit). She practice veganism (she do not consume meat, fish or poultry and animal by products such as eggs, dairy products, etc. ) and also an advocate of holistic health, wherein she focuses on her whole being (mind, body and spirit) rather than focusing on specific body parts. She also shared to us ways to improve wellness. She told us to pay attention for things we enjoyed doing because it will constantly lift our mood. Don't forget to BREATHE.. Relax and quit obsessing with numbers. Gaining muscles is more important than losing weight or fats. Get enough sleep, Eat a rainbow (not literally) and get our nutrition facts straight. Get regular foot massage, take our eyes off the screen when it's time to rest and always make time to exercise.  The important lesson I learned from her is that, you have to prepare for the most important event - not the wedding, birthdays, summer (for bikini bod), but prepare for LIFE itself. Life happens everyday so never ever put a deadline. 

Ms. Nikki Torres




























After the second talk, we had a short break. We were served with yummy snacks to fill our tummy.





I also took the chance to visit the Brand partners / Sponsors Booth.

BRAND YOU-NIQUE by Isa Garcia and Bea Vergara founders of The Better Story Project. They shared that the The Better Story has 3 main values. Empowerment (they encourage women to become leaders), Mentorship (it is important to have people to look up to and be an inspiration) and Community (where everyone can share and build confidence). They also shared the people they looked up to and why. The most important lesson I learned from this talk is that you don't have to be afraid to get out of your bubbles because getting out of it will help you discover who you really are. As what Ms. Isa said, "You have to expand your narrative. Build your own story and take ownership of your life". Don't care about others opinion of you, you don't have to be liked, YOU HAVE TO BE AUTHENTIC. 

Ms. Isa Garcia and Ms. BEa Vergara






























FASHION WANDERLUST by Nicole Andersson . She shared to us the importance of finding our own personal style and her tips and tricks on how to dress up according to it. She also told us to FLAUNT what we have. And most importantly, our clothes doesn't have to be expensive, the way it fits to us is what matters. Even a 100 peso Ukay clothes will look good on us if it fits perfectly. 


































I'm so glad I said YES to sis Grace. I really learned a lot from our speakers. I also got the chance to meet new Bellas and got to spend time to make chicka with the old ones. :)

and it won't be complete without loot bags. 


Hope you enjoy reading this post. : )  For more of the upcoming BDJ events be sure to check their website and follow their social media accounts. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram


Until here.
See you soon folks!

Post-Event: Glam Indulgence: A BDJ Bootcamp Beauty Fair

BDJ Box held its second Beauty Boot Camp last June 26, 2016 at the Palm Grove, The Rockwell Club. The Beauty Bootcamp is composed of a beauty fair and a workshop. Entrance to the fair is free if you pre-registered before the event and P50 for walk-in Bellas. The workshop costs P800, that's I think is good for 3 workshops already. Since I have prior engagement before the date of the bootcamp was announced, I just pre-registered for the event and didn't buy ticket for the workshops. So my post is going to be just about the fair. 

First 200 Bellas were given a box of Olay Regenerist Miracle Duo. And I immediately snapped a photo of it (Can't wait to go home for the photo shoot. That's how excited I am to received it. hahaha) 



The first booth I visited was the Covergirl's booth. First 20 Bellas were given 1 Free Cheekers Blush. I took a selfie with my favorite product (mascara cardboard cut-out) inside their booth, posted it on my Facebook with their assigned hashtags and showed it to them. Voila!! I got one. Lucky me! :) 

The next one was the Flawless Booth. Good thing there's no long line as I'm the first one to visit their booth. You have to play a game of Spin-A-Wheel to get a prize. Winners will be  given a bar of Flawless Soap



I got the "Pink Pong" Game, wherein I have to shoot 3 pink pong balls (can't remember if its 3 or 5) inside the pink plastic caps within 30 seconds. Sadly I'm not born to be a shooter so I lost. hahaha. I was given a P100 voucher as a consolation prize. 

The The Body Shop booth's was giving away Love Your Body Club Card for the first 150 Bellas to checked in and answered their survey, so the line during that time was sooo long that they have to set a cut-off to prevent it from getting longer. Luckily, I was able to register before the cut-off so I was able to get a card plus a BB cream sample from their pick-a-prize box. :)

The last booth that I was able to visit was the K-Pallete's booth.





Got an eyebrow make-over. yay!!


Sadly I had to leave early, so I wasn't able to visit other booths. Though I want to try the hair make-over at Tony & Guy's booth, the line's a bit long, and I no longer have enough time to wait. :'( Anyway, sharing you other photos I took during the fair.




Free Hair Color Application at the Revia's Booth. All you have to do is buy 1 hair color worth P 143.00.

50% off at Covergirl's booth. What a steal!



The Long line at Tony & Guy's booth. Lots of pretty girls waiting in line. :)

 My hair badly needs some make-over.. hehehehe


Hope you enjoy reading this post. : )

Post Event: #BDJPassionSeries - #FlauntthatGlow


photo grabbed from ilovebdj.com
3 days ago, I've attended another event hosted by Belle De Jour Power Planner. The BDJ Passion Series: #FlauntthatGlow was held at The Blackboard by Chef Michel (The Podium) in partnership with Jergens Philippines. 

Just like the past events that I have attended, I arrived too early so I went around the mall (The Podium and even SM Mega Mall) while waiting for the registration to start. 

My new BellaKadas.  
While waiting for the program to start, I roamed around the venue to take product shots, selfies, and groupies with my new BellaKadas.

Our host: Ms. Christine 

We played a game (pass the Message) before the program proper.

Ms. Kayce Pamintuan from Jergens Philippines introduced Hydralucence to us. It is  a unique Jergens technology that forms a continuousbi-layer of moisture on skin upon application. She also talked about how having a glowing skin helps us feel more younger, radiant and confident.


The first key speaker was Ms. Donna Cuna - Pita (Cosmo Ph Fashion Director). Her topic was about Skin and Style. She talked about different body types and the appropriate clothings and accessories to use to highlight the assets for a certain body type. I truly enjoyed her talk because she's so witty and her discussion was not boring at all.

After her talk, we had a short break. I loved the "Chicken fingers" (I don't know what it's called).


Our second speaker was Ms. Marj Ramos (Celebrity Stylist). Her topic was The Art of Instagram. She gave us some tips on how to capture best product shots, better OOTDs and better selfies that is tap worthy on Instagram. 


Atfter her talk, we were given 15 minutes to do a flatlay shot of any Jergens product.

That's me, trying my very best to do a flatlay using my game prize earlier. 

My new Bella friends and I with Ms. Kayce after the event. 
I love that I am able to meet new friends in every BDJ events that I've attended. Got another set of new BellaKadas that I can share my passion with.

And BDJ event is not complete without game prizes and loot bags. Sooo happy.. :)
